Answer Details

(a)

1. (i) Specimen C (Fresh meat) could be obtained from cows and pigs.
2. (ii) Specimen C could be preserved in the following ways: refrigeration, freezing, curing (such as making ham or bacon), and canning.

(b)

1. (i) The raw form of specimen D (Powdered Milk) could be obtained from cows, goats, and sheep.
2. (ii) Products that could be obtained from specimen D include milk chocolate, cheese, and yogurt.

(c)

Specimen D (Powdered Milk) can be used in animal production as a source of nutrition for young animals and as a supplement in the diets of lactating animals to increase milk production.

(d)

The process used for making the raw form of specimen D for human consumption is called spray drying. In this process, fresh milk is first sterilized and then evaporated to remove the water content. The resulting concentrated milk solids are then atomized and sprayed into a hot chamber where the water is rapidly evaporated, leaving behind a fine powder that can be packaged and stored for later use.
